Advocacy

Make a Difference

Advocacy is simply about getting information on a given issue to those in charge with making decisions about it. There are times when governments need information to make important changes in their policies. Patients and their families are often times the most important and accurate source for this information. It is empowering when they can influence and make change.

Take these 3 steps to make a difference in your life and the lives of your loved ones.

Step 1:

As part of our advocacy efforts we undertook to objectively investigate and evaluate how the publicly funded health care systems are performing. Skin Deep: A Report Card on Access to Dermatological Care and Treatment in Canada 2012 is the result of that effort.

The results are not good. See how your province or territory stacks up.
